FEC.gov records $375,920 for the string COMCAST CORPORATION inside the 2008 election cycle. That cell is 284 itemized contributions and 101 unique donors. Across all cycles the grouping stores $3,868,762, which means 2008 is about 9.7% of the running sum. This page is a join: Comcast Corporation on one axis, 2008 on the other — not Comcast PAC, a telecommunications NAICS rollup, or Comcast as a corporate treasury.

- 284 contributions and 101 unique donors produced the cell.

Why Comcast Corporation and 2008 share a page
Comcast Corporation pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2008 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $375,920 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged COMCAST CORPORATION in 2008. 284 contributions and 101 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.
The stored employer label is media-and-cable employer text. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. Comcast pac, a telecommunications naics rollup, or comcast as a corporate treasury would be a different dataset or a different string.
Keep $3,868,762 on the industry hub and keep the 2008 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $375,920.
2008 as a slice of $3,868,762
$3,868,762 is the all-cycle total stored for COMCAST CORPORATION. Subtract $375,920 and $3,492,842 remains in other cycles (90.3%). 2008 therefore accounts for about 9.7% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.
Do not read 9.7% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2008 campaign. It is $375,920 divided by $3,868,762. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 9.7% ratio is $375,920 divided by $3,868,762. Other even-year joins for COMCAST CORPORATION are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,492,842. Citing 2008 as if it were the Comcast Corporation lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,492,842.
